R612 Phase Cannon
The R612 has the reputation of being a hard-hitting weapon that is fully capable of engaging threat armored fighting vehicles with confidence. The one drawback is its lack of explosive potential upon impact, meaning that the bolt’s containment field lasts longer than the plasma core of the pulse. In effect the bolt will drill straight through a target without imparting anything more than a physical impact on the target, like high explosive-anti armor ordnance. While this is preferred when fighting armored vehicles, it becomes problematic when facing unarmored targets or trying to suppress infantry formations.

R903 Pulse Cannon
The R903 straps six firing assemblies to a single pre-fire chamber. The weapon uses a single power assembly. By using this arrangement, the components that would be susceptible to overheating during rapid fire usage remain cool. The assembly is complicated and unfit for many applications, but the R903’s pulse cannon design can shower a target in high powered bolts within fractions of a second.
